Vehicle Overview

The 2013 Ford Taurus full-size sedan makes a comeback featuring new styling and added features. Powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, the Ford Taurus produces 288 horsepower and 19/29 mpg city highway. Offered in four models, the SE, SEL, Limited, and SHO, the 2013 Ford Taurus now offers true manual-shifting capabilities with the six-speed transmission.

In an early 2013 test drive, the Ford Taurus SHO model set out to put a premium spin on the full-size sedan. It offered great acceleration and handled all road situations in a composed manner. Although the Taurus may have been quick off the line, its weight and bulk put a damper on what otherwise would have been a more enjoyable driving experience. "The Ford Taurus features a premium interior, and is a dramatic leap forward in terms of design and appeal from the previous generation."

New for 2013

The 2013 Ford Taurus gets an updated exterior and new features for all models. Also new for 2013 is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine offering better fuel economy than the standard engine. The SHO now offers a Performance package, and MyFord Touch has been updated for the new model year.
